Aquarium Advice Addict
No heat no light no filtration?
Sorry this is sort of a duplicate of one in the planted section ...
I would like to put something near my desk at work, but the area doesn't have any outlets to spare (we are at the safe limit with an extension cord and stuff from a far wall).
I'm curious if shrimp might do well with ...
3 gallons
Ph 6.5
Indirect southern sunlight
GH and KH 4. More if necessary (I already supplement up from <1)
Temps 68-76 I think, not spanning that whole range in a day. Fluctuates about 4 degrees in a day I believe.
Heavily planted (Java moss, Java fern, something floating)
Ada Amazonia substrate
I'm experienced (18 months) with fish and I'm a good water keeper. My tanks so far haven't had illness or algae (when I thought I had sick fish they recovered). Ive done well with delicate fish like Otos (haven't lost any). I've kept this tank planted and unfiltered with a betta. I haven't done well with inverts in the community tank (ghost shrimp and mystery snails), they don't live long.
That being said I absolutely don't want RCS. lol. Something more visually striking. The tank will be at the entrance of a granite and Quartz showroom, sitting on some highly patterned Quartz.
